ePlan Components--Introduction

Technology plan components are provided as a resource to use while developing a district technology plan. The following instructions assist districts in completing the Introduction component of the district's ePlan in the Texas ePlan System:

District and Contact InformationChanges made in the Texas ePlan, such as updating a principal's name, only affect the district's information in the ePlan system. To ensure accuracy of information in other state-based systems, this information must also be updated in the centralized AskTED (Texas Education School Directory) database. Notice that the Campus ID and Region number are not editable.

Demographics of the DistrictUse the data submitted in the E-Rate application for the current year.

Number of Years Covered by the PlanEnter the number of years covered by the plan (1, 2, or 3) before entering budget information. The number of years may be changed later.

Technology Planning Committee DescriptionEnsure that the committee includes representatives from all stakeholders, including administrators, teachers, librarians, students, parents, community leaders, business representatives, and other educational partners.

Executive SummaryInclude a short overview of the plan, how and why it came to be, and what it hopes to accomplish (two page maximum). Ensure that the information focuses on how the technology benefits teaching and learning.
